Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) I aM Well Grant (January 8 2020)
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has awarded a substantial grant to a program aimed at improving Indigenous Mental Wellness. ‘I aM Well,’ a joint initiative of both Naandwechige-Gamig Wikwemikong Health Centre and Laurentian University’s ECHO Research Centre, will receive $1.5 million dollars over the next five years. The CIHR funding will allow for the I aM Well to not just expand, but also to become adaptable to other Indigenous cultures. The aim is to aid communities around the world, particularly those in rural and remote areas with fewer resources.
